Francesco with his vineyard and his olive trees.
After receiving a Master Degree in Forestry and Agronomy in 2010, he moved to London where he started to work in a science laboratory. As he continued with his passion for music he went on to perform opera singing and dedicate himself only to music.
Being a singer allowed him to travel back to Italy more often and to spend time to take care of the family's olive oil production.
Thanks to his music career, he regularly performs at important events around the world, singing in the most exclusive clubs and meeting many interesting people with whom he has often found to have one very special thing in common; the love for wine.
Wine has the power to create solid relationships – indeed, you will often find Francesco talking with some members of his audience and sharing some of the best wine vintages with them.
Having studied agronomy, he is particularly fascinated by wine makers who invest their time and energy by taking care of their vineyard to cultivate healthy grapes that reflect the identity of a particular varital as well as its terroir.
The combination of his passion for wine with his love for art makes him a Wine Tender who strongly believes that there is nothing better than putting together wine, music, good food and positive people.
Wine is only great when shared.
